Browser-local SVG Processing

The SVG Formatter utility processes SVG content in your browser. The raw SVG is not uploaded for processing; actual processing time depends on the file and your device. See the Privacy Policy for normal website requests and hosting logs.

About SVG Formatter

This utility formats raw, minified, or disorganized SVG markup into readable, structured XML with customizable 2-space indentation levels. Pretty-printing your vector code makes it easier to inspect element hierarchies, edit paths manually, and debug structural issues. All formatting happens client-side inside your browser without uploading files.

How It Works

01

Paste your SVG code into the editor.

02

The formatter parses the XML and applies clean indentations.

03

Copy the formatted markup.

Readable source notes

SVG Formatter is the reverse of a minification pass: it turns compact or uneven XML into readable indentation so you can inspect hierarchy, attributes, and nested groups. Use it before a manual edit or code review, not as a replacement for a structural validator.

What this tool does

  • Parses supported SVG markup and applies consistent indentation and line breaks.
  • Makes groups, definitions, paths, and attributes easier to inspect in a code review.
  • Produces a readable source that can be minified or optimized later for deployment.

Review before publishing

  • Formatting changes whitespace and presentation of the source, not the intent of complex rendering behavior.
  • Malformed markup may be recoverable or may require Repair SVG first; inspect parser output carefully.
  • Pretty output is usually less compact than production output, so choose the right representation for the destination.

Minified input

<svg viewBox='0 0 20 20'><g><path d='M2 2h16v16H2z'/></g></svg>

Formatted output

<svg viewBox='0 0 20 20'>
  <g>
    <path d='M2 2h16v16H2z' />
  </g>
</svg>

Frequently Asked Questions

Does formatting alter visual rendering?

No, it only adjusts whitespace and indentation without altering visual nodes.

What indentation options are available?

By default it uses standard 2-space XML indentation for optimal code readability.

Can this tool format malformed or invalid SVG code?

It auto-corrects minor tag structure issues during DOM parsing before serializing formatted XML output.
